Palm Sunday
“Who Are You Jesus?” - “I Am The Good Shepherd”
Dear Friends of Burnside,
This Sunday we ask once again, “Who Are You Jesus?”, and we hear the reply “I Am The Good Shepherd”. Those who first heard Jesus say these words would have been shocked because they knew the implications of what Jesus was saying. We will be reading from John 10:11-18 and you might find it interesting to read what Ezekiel has to say about the Shepherd in Ezekiel 34.
Sunday is also Palm Sunday and we will be meditating on Jesus entering Jerusalem as he journeys to the cross.
Join us this Sunday at 11:00am
Why not bring a friend along?
